Second Period


In the second period, Mark Scheifele managed to equalize for the Jets with his precise shot on goal. This was one of only two points scored by Winnipeg throughout the game. Despite their efforts, including winning 55 percent of faceoffs and delivering 32 hits compared to Carolina's 13, they couldn't capitalize further on their opportunities.


Third Period


The third period proved decisive as Carolina unleashed an offensive barrage with four goals. Jordan Martinook and Seth Jarvis were instrumental in this surge, contributing significantly to their team's victory. The Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi stood out in goalkeeping duties by saving all but one of Winnipeg's attempts on target.

Despite Thomas Milic's commendable effort in netting saves for Winnipeg—30 out of 35 shots—the defensive lapses during crucial moments allowed Carolina to secure an emphatic win at Lenovo Center.
